VISITORS to Lavins Wine Bar in Northwich can now take a trip on the wild side after the standard pool table revealed its animal instinct.

Landlord John Lavin contacted Northwich-based amusement machine dealers MD Leisure after hearing an unusual trend for covering pool tables with novelty designs was sweeping the leisure industry.

And, following an anxious wait, John unveiled the leopard-skin print table at the Bull Ring venue on Thursday.

Mike Barrow, from MD Leisure, said: "I had just attended a trade show where they were promoting pool table covers with designs from animal skins to chequered boards and once I told John Lavin this, he wanted one straightaway."

He added: "I know this is the only novelty pool table design in the town but it could even be the only leopard-skin one in Cheshire.

"It's certainly very unique and worth having a look at."
